Abstract
Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs) are the most viable solutions to the undesirable high petroleum consumption by the present form of internal combustion engine driven vehicles. The varying requisites of HEVs and EVs have resulted in the advancement of battery technology in the area of chemical compositions such as electrode and electrolyte in addition to its electrical combination, control and protection schemes. The maximum utilization and protection of the battery is a challenge that needs to be tackled to improve its efficiency and reliability.
A comprehensive study of the present battery technology has been performed in this thesis. The research is focused on battery modeling and its applications taking the complete electric drive train into consideration. Novel models and research perspectives have been proposed and analyzed. The scopes of increasing the accuracy of the present day battery management system have also been discussed.
